A friendly wave, a void of shapes and colors, souls lost forever within the confines of their own cage until set free. Come take my hand and we can make the world a better place. Spread your wings and you too can fly. Fly with me.
Oh I mean like… I do see posts saying hey if you used X instead of Y you could do Z. And I have been seeing them ever since I joined years ago. That’s just how these things go. Sorry, didn’t mean to imply some kind of drama and then disappoint you like that.
Why do we want another reddit? Why don’t we want something better/different/more engaging than reddit? Reddit has made the mistakes, we can learn from them. And even better, we don’t have angels to make happy at the end of it all. Just us.
Give it time to settle down. Mastodon vs. Pleroma vs. Misskey, and recently Akkoma vs. Calckey, etc etc etc. all of this stuff isn’t really new. Use this. No use that.
Just use what you like. I prefer /kbin. Likely will always. If someone judges me for using a software they don’t, then I probably didn’t want to talk to them anyway.
Also keep in mind that /kbin was in very, very slow development for a very long time before a lot of things all happened at once. Very much a passion project. Like this is someone building a shed in their garage for their garden except somehow now suddenly 50 thousand people are in your garden and they all want in.
maybe I’ll eat my words later but I doubt it’ll be quite as big. I think a lot of people are underestimating just how little the average person cares, or knows to care. Been through the twitter migration, the reddit migration, and in both instances it wasn’t really a migration, it was more like a few people split off the main group and found a nicer home for themselves. And honestly, I think that’s enough.
as someone with sight problems, I could not agree more.
Careful with Hive. It is perfectly positioned to suffer the exact same fate as Twitter if it is allowed to grow. Then we have learned nothing and it all just repeats. Never mind that the app is absolutely atrocious both from a data security standpoint and an accessibility standpoint.
I feel awful for being so curious. It’s like slowing down just so you can watch an accident on the other side of the road. I really shouldn’t.
mm. Might have been a getting started from the ground up kind of setup guide and the author might be most familiar with that. But happily it seems like there’s docker files in the main repo, including docker compose files, so that should make it quite easy to set up.
Wait. I’m looking at the Pixelfed installation guide right now and it doesn’t tell me to use Arch at all? Isn’t it just a PHP app?
Reddit doesn’t have to die. This place just has to be comfy enough for us to stick around. Not everything is growth over everything.
The music towards the end aaa
